Usage notes
- For a doorway or access point, entrata is common; ingresso often sounds more formal or architectural, especially on signs and in building descriptions.
- For money, entrate is usually plural in accounting and business: le entrate e le uscite. Singular entrata can mean one receipt or source of income.
